]]>In 2012 Ravens fans saw a lot of finales, 2013 on the other hand, there will be a lot of firsts. We saw certain players outplay their monetary value, we saw other players finish out legendary runs in town, and we saw Joe prove that he is good enough.

Although I could relive this version of the past every year, it’s a lot more interesting to look ahead to the future. So what will the firsts be this year for the Purple and Black?

The obvious first that comes to mind is the man, the myth, the legend, Ray Lewis; will not be at Baltimore Ravens training camp for the first time in team history. The play of Ray in the Superbowl definitely left something to be desired as it was apparent that he had lost a step but his play is not necessarily what the Ravens need to replace. What needs to be replaced is the leadership of #52. Baltimore just may have had that leader all along. Terrell Suggs has always been known as the class clown and the joker of the locker room, but reports from mini camp showed a more down to business Terrell Suggs. While the offense has no questions about leadership with a Superbowl MVP on its side, the defense is a different story after losing the likes of 27 years in NFL experience between two players. Without Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, John Harbaugh will need Terrell Suggs to step up not only his play, but also his leadership role. Watch through training camp to see how Suggs adapts to this new role.

Elvis Dumervil, Michael Huff, Chris Canty, and Marcus Spears will all sport the Purple and Black for the first time. My mouth is watering already just thinking about the combination of Dumervil and a healthy Terrell Suggs opposite sides from one another. In 2011 the two combined for a total of 23 sacks (Elvis Dumervil missed 2 games that season) and are both a terror for opposing Quarterbacks. Chris Canty has been battling injuries in New York last year missing 7 games still accruing 3 sacks but is very versatile and can play both Defensive End as well as Tackle. Marcus Spears looks as though he will be a depth player for the Ravens considering he wasn’t starting for the Cowboys and let’s face it, the Cowboys are a joke. The veteran addition to the secondary for the Ravens? Michael Huff; a multi-functional player who can play corner, safety, and nickel. I don’t put much stock in Huff’s past mainly because players go to Oakland and die a terrible, ugly football players death– perennial losing. When I watched Michael Huff’s press conference which welcomed him to the Ravens I loved everything I heard from the guy. He said all the right things and welcomed the challenge of joining the legacy that comes with becoming a defensive player on this team. I welcome the idea of giving a player who was stuck on a bad team, with bad coaching, and a bad defensive scheme an opportunity to show his true colors.

Just like with every season, there are rookies. This years draft picks will be asked to make an immediate impact on this football team, and I think they have what it takes. Matt Elam the Safety out of Florida is all of 5-10, 206 but hits like a Linebacker and has great open field skills. Elam also has underrated ball skills in my opinion and will be a force in the run game. I can’t wait for training camp to get started so we can see this kid start getting some real action. He also hauled in a pick against Joe Flacco in mni-camp.

Filling the void at Linebacker for the Ravens is 6-1, 242 pounder Arthur Brown (Kansas State), yes, a little undersized but he is tenacious when attacking the ball. He also shows the ability to cover the mid-range routes and Tight Ends over the middle and in the flat (something this team was definitely lacking). It’s going to be interesting to see if Arthur Brown is going to be the player who is receiving the plays from the sideline or if that duty will be placed on Jameel McClain.

Ray Rice will have a rookie Fullback to break in this year. The Ravens drafted Kyle Juszczyk in the 4th round out Harvard (You gotta have a Harvard guy right?!) which lead to the eventual release of Vonta Leach. I am of the belief that that this offense does not need a full time 2 back set and more importantly could not pay a Fullback 4 million dollars. Although Juszczyk may not be able to drop the hammer like Leach, he will definitely excel athletically and be a threat to the defense in the pass game out of the backfield. I’m just curious to see if the lead blocker out of Harvard will be ready to make an impact right out of the gate.

2013 will also give Torrey Smith his first opportunity to be the number one wide out with no Anquan Boldin on his side. This is the Ravens biggest question at this point, which with all the turnover from 2012, isn’t so bad. I would be lying though if I said this wasn’t my largest concern entering the season. Ozzie Newsome says he’s excited for the competition between Tandon Doss, David Reed, LaQuan Williams, Tommy Streeter, Deonte Thompson, and Aaron Mellette.

–Tandon Doss was drafted in 2011 out of Indiana, since then, he has 7 receptions for just 123 yards. There was a point in the Wild Card game against the Colts where Joe Flacco tried to connect with Doss two separate times in the end zone, the 2nd year receiver got his hands on both passes and brought down neither. Now this doesn’t exactly inspire hope for Ravens fans all around especially because when Tandon Doss was drafted he was known for his hands and not his speed.

–David Reed is absolutely terrible and has no business setting foot into the castle at all. In fact, I’m fully convinced that David Reed has incriminating photos of someone in the organization and that’s why he has kept his job this long.

–LaQuan Williams is a nice special teams player but has just 4 catches for 46 yards since being drafted in 2011 with no catches last year. I am interested to see if Williams can make a small impact as a number 4 option for Joe Flacco.

-In the category of “prove your worth“… Tommy Streeter and Aaron Mellette. Tommy Streeter is a 6th round pick of 2012 who showed nothing but brick hands in last years training camp. There is no disputing the speed of Tommy Streeter, but can his hands keep up with his legs? Aaron Mellette just needs to show the Ravens he’s got potential and can grow, he impressed a few people in mini-camp as well. Mellette is not known for his speed but his hands and physical play along with jump ball ability. Let’s be honest though the Ravens don’t need more speed on the corners with Torrey and Jacoby, they need sure hands and a route runner.

–Deonte Thompson has the best opportunity for success in 2013. He played in the final game of the regular season last year against the Bengals in a contest which the Ravens sat the majority of their starters. Thompson had 4 receptions for 26 yards. Although he had extremely limited playing time in 2012 he took advantage of the preseason catching 10 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown.

So prospects are good… This is the NFL though, there’s not time to groom players in the minor’s. Jim Caldwell is going to have to take advantage of existing talent. I think the Ravens are going to be using a lot more 2 Tight End sets with Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson. If Ed Dickson can show consistent production Anquan Boldin may be thoughts of the past. Dickson did have trouble with drops late in the season but in the Playoffs, he stepped up. 6 receptions for 90 yards hauling in some key first downs that helped the Ravens to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. The eye test on Dennis Pitta is sufficient enough, he is one of Joe Flacco’s favorite targets and has proven that he can be a consistent contributor to the Ravens offense. If you’re Jim Caldwell, Jacoby Jones has one obvious value that you need to figure out how to take advantage of on a game to game basis. Speed. Caldwell needs to create mismatches with Jacoby Jones on the outside and figure out how to keep safety help away from his side of the field. This is where that mix of run and pass and play-action could allow Jacoby to have a huge season.

Another key to look for in training camp will be to see how Lardarius Webb looks and the leadership role he will take on with a young secondary.

From a panic ridden fanbase to being awed by Ozzie Newsome’s ability to rebuild on the fly. Training camp 2013 will have plenty of story lines… And by the way did I mention, the Ravens have the added pressure of defending the crown?

]]>The Ravens finally got the monkey off their collective back in 2012 after four straight seasons of January heartbreak. That year, right when pressure mounted as high as it ever had— and with Ray Lewis set to call it quits at the end of the season— the Ravens won it all for their leader and for their city.

In 2013, this group will be in unfamiliar territory as the hunted instead of the hunters. They have a murderous schedule up ahead with other AFC powerhouses New England, Denver and Houston on the docket, and also have to deal with the NFC North, a division that housed three teams with records of 10-6 or better a season ago.

It’s not that the Ravens can’t hold their own in these matchups, but with these teams looming, it makes it especially important to rack-up wins over opponents like Buffalo, Cleveland and the New York Jets.

But before we could even begin to look how they stack up against those other teams, we need to know how Ravens roster stacks up in the first place:

Key Departures

The Ravens roster sheet won’t have the name “Ray Lewis” inked on it for the first time in the team’s 17-year existence. Though Lewis’ play on the football field last season could certainly be upgraded, and though the organization did a fine job of addressing his vacancy, they will still miss his leadership and locker room presence.

Ed Reed’s longtime presence will also be missed, and veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin takes away an element of leadership as well as a safety valve for quarterback Joe Flacco. Receivers David Reed, Deonte Thompson and Tandon Doss will compete for snaps in wake of Boldin’s departure, but they don’t have the résuméor the clout a player like Boldin brings to the training facility. Because of these veteran departures, it’s time for guys like Flacco, Ray Rice and Terrell Suggs to take the helm and maintain a winning culture by leading by example.

Inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and edge-rusher Paul Kruger left for Miami and Cleveland after they were offered contracts worth $35 million and $40 million, respectively. Starting cornerback Cary Williams, starting center Matt Birk and special teams ace Brendan Ayanbadejo also left, and the team chose to part ways with strong safety Bernard Pollard and fullback Vonta Leach as well.

Add it all up and that’s an overwhelming amount of key players from last season that are no longer in Charm City, but the front office made the necessary additions to fill the voids. These roster moves felt much quieter than the notable departures, but make no mistake, they’ll make noise soon enough.

Key Acquisitions

Speaking of noise, expect M&T Bank Stadium to roar when rookie linebacker Arthur Brown doles out his first big hit. You don’t like to throw around the term “Ray Lewis’ replacement,” so I’ll put it this way: In the 2012 offseason, Brown is far and away the best long-term option to play middle linebacker in the NFL. And after the Ravens had the best one for years in Lewis, it’s fitting that Brown is the next one they got.

Brown isn’t the hulking behemoth in the middle of the defense Lewis was, but he’s quick and rangy enough be a three-down middle linebacker in today’s NFL. He can cover tight ends and running backs and get into backfields at speeds that are just scary. The 4:16 mark of this video highlights the latter point, as Brown chases down a scrambling Robert Griffin III for a sack during a 2011 matchup versus Baylor.

In the secondary, Matt Elam is the team’s first-round selection and should start immediately at strong safety, the spot vacated by Pollard. Right off the bat, fans will see a similarity between these two men, as Elam has the aggressiveness to be an in-the-box run defender as well as someone who can cover the slot on occasion.

But expect bulk of the deep coverage responsibility to lie on the shoulders of another newcomer, Michael Huff. Huff never lived up to the expectations of his high-draft status in Oakland, but he was a solid defender who has great versatility. That can’t be discounted this day and age, where offenses are throwing a billion different packages at defenses that just don’t always have the pieces in place to keep up. Huff should certainly help in that regard.

The Ravens’ answer for Kruger’s departure was signing Elvis Dumervil, who bested Kruger’s sack total 11 to nine in 2012, and also had five more quarterback pressures according to ProFootballFocus.com. They also signed Dumervil for two years and $12 million, opposed to Kruger, who signed in Cleveland for more than three times that amount. Kruger’s the younger option by two years, but the addition of Dumervil on the edge gives General Manager Ozzie Newsome’s paycheck a reprieve, and also more than enough time for him to get a long-term replacement.

2013 Season Outlook

As mentioned before, the additions the Ravens made didn’t make as much of a splash as the big-time departures. This doesn’t mean for a second that they didn’t address their vacancies correctly. Bargains were had, and the team built for the long-term despite having the “win now” expectations that all defending champions have the ensuing year.

The reality is they will have a rough schedule, but even if the Ravens eke out a 9-7 or 10-6 record and clinch a wild-card spot, that’s all they need. Their 2012 team, as well as the 2011 Giants and the 2010 Packers, proved that you don’t need to be a conference heavyweight to win a Super Bowl. More than ever, it’s about catching fire at the right time and the Ravens showed they are as capable of doing that as any other team.

If they take care of business during the season and clinch a playoff spot, there’s no reason to discount the possibility of them going on another brilliant run.

]]>To honor Ray Lewis and to celebrate the biggest and final game of his 17-year career, we’re hoping you’ll join us at Toulouse and The River in downtown New Orleans and march 17 blocks as a walking tailgate to Super Bowl 47.

Our FREE tailgate party will begin at 10 a.m. There’s plenty of cold beer, drinks, great food and awesome music from legendary Baltimore DJ Bobby Nyk at the edge of Woldenberg Park at the foot of the Mississippi River.

At 2:52 p.m. in Sunday we’ll gather and begin our march to the Superdome by making a left onto Decatur, which becomes N. Peters which becomes Tchoupitoulas and then a right onto Poydras for the long boulevard walk to the Dome and the Super Bowl. We expect to arrive at the Dome about two hours before game time.

Bring your cameras, shoot video and show everyone back in Baltimore the power of the purple flash mob in New Orleans as we support the Ravens and honor Ray Lewis with a block for every one of his 17 seasons in the Charm City and making football great.

Our parade route: we’ll make a left out of Woldenberg Park onto Decatur which becomes N. Peters which becomes Tchoupitoulas and then a right into Poydras, which is a wide-open boulevard that leads to the Superdome.

And if you want to know what it looks like when several thousand Baltimore Ravens fans get together in the streets, check out this 2010 video from our Indianapolis purple flash mob and march to their dome:

http://wnst.net/nfl/49ers-offense-is-s-o-f-t/#commentsTue, 29 Jan 2013 08:08:31 +0000http://wnst.net/?p=227129The 49ers defense is built to dish out punishment, but their offense may not be built to take it.

]]>One of the things that has made this Ravens playoff run especially satisfying for fans of the team has been their ability time and again to prove the national media and the national consensus wrong. The Ravens have been written off at seemingly every turn of their playoff run, and just as quickly as they can prove the doubters and their perceptions wrong, along comes a new opponent with a fresh set of reasons to write off a team whose accomplishments have been diminished far too easily and often as emotion and destiny.

The sad fact, for football fans in general, is that the more you that watch games and then compare what you’ve seen to what the pundits are spewing, the quicker you come to realize that those who are paid to opine and comment on football games can’t seem to be bothered to actually watch much football. Instead it seems that many have defaulted into the habit of watching whatever games are of local interest to them or are being served up in their areas, along with the prime time games, and then forming their opinions on the rest of the field based on what they’ve seen in highlight packages or heard from someone else.

That being the case, this seems to be a Super Bowl match-up served specifically into the collective wheelhouse of the lazy media, as there’s little useful film on either of these teams outside of their playoff games. The Ravens changed offensive coordinators near the end of their season and took a couple of weeks to find a rhythm as an offense. Also, the national media seems to have been mesmerized by the Ray Lewis story to such an extent that they’ve missed the biggest single reason for the Ravens improved results, the inclusion of Bryant McKinnie on the offensive line. McKinnie’s presence has not only improved the Ravens at left tackle, but by casting Michael Oher back to right tackle has improved the team there too, and that move having pushed Kelechi Osemele to left guard has improved a 3rd offensive line position making the impact of McKinnie exponential.

The results have been undeniable, quarterback Joe Flacco, now better protected seems to have more time and confidence in the pocket allowing him to focus downfield and utilize his greatest strength, his strong and accurate arm. In the lead-up to the Broncos game, no one was suggesting that Denver had an issue in their secondary, because they hadn’t shown one all year. Hindsight now shows that perhaps the edge rush capabilities of Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil was a big part of the secondary’s success. When that pass rush was neutralized by the Ravens new look offensive line, the secondary couldn’t find an answer and the rest was academic.

Hindsight as well would suggest that the “finesse” offenses of the Broncos and Patriots weren’t ready to respond to the physical style of play that the Ravens defense brings regularly. The evidence, on the Patriots side of the equation was there based on their previous meetings with the Ravens, as well as their inability to deal with the physical defensive stylings of the 49ers, Seahawks and Cardinals. The NFC West, it seems, is becoming very AFC North-like when it comes to defensive prowess.

As the Ravens and 49ers prepare to meet for a title, the read option offense run by the Niners and the bold decision by coach Jim Harbaugh to change quarterbacks mid-season are the talk of the football world. What’s being overlooked however, probably because of the physical nature of San Francisco’s defense, is that their offense hasn’t exactly responded well to the physical style of play the Ravens defense projects to bring to the table against them. The Niners are bullies on defense but may be prone to getting bullied on offense.

The 49ers are a Slick Offensive Football Team. Their current brand of offense is geared more toward getting defenses off balance and tricking them than it is to simply lining up and beating teams physically. There’s nothing wrong with that, as league-wide there are plenty of teams finding success with that formula; unfortunately for San Francisco, they haven’t been finding success against defenses like the Ravens.

Slick Offensive Football Team = S.O.F.T.

While Colin Kaepernick seems to be the wildcard in the assessment of the 49ers offense, the team’s handling of Kaepernick makes it even wilder. Not only did the Niners change QBs mid-season, but even after making the change they seemed to try making him fit into a pro-style offense and force him to be a pocket QB. Once the playoffs came around though, the Niners have gone much more read option heavy and as a result, much like the Ravens, it becomes difficult to draw many conclusions about the 49ers based on anything other than their playoff games based on a glaring and dramatic change in strategy.

]]>Remember Whiskey Joe’s? Well, this time the name to remember if you’re a Baltimore Ravens fan is The Howlin’ Wolf in The Warehouse District in New Orleans, which will serves as the “Purple Ground Zero” for all who’ve ever enjoyed crabs, beer and Baltimore football on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.

Here’s a link to learn more about The Howlin’ Wolf, a legendary place for music in New Orleans that will be a round-the-clock purple palace catering to Baltimore fans with legendary Louisiana hospitality, food and music.

If you’re on the WNST trips or shuttles coming from the Gulf Coast, The Howlin’ Wolf will also be where you get dropped and picked up in New Orleans. It is truly our “Purple Ground Zero” for all things Baltimore and Ravens while in The Big Easy.

Now for the important news:

We have a GRAMMY AWARD WINNING group of beloved local New Orleans musicians — Rebirth Brass Band will be rocking our Saturday night Purple Throwdown in The Crescent City.

Here’s video of them crushing Bourbon Street four years ago:

We’re wondering if they can learn Seven Nations Army?

We’re giving them a week!

The doors open at 7 p.m. and Rebirth Brass Band is expected to hit the stage around 11 p.m.

The WNST buses back to Gulfport have suddenly moved to a 1 a.m. departure!

At some point, we have to rest up for our 2:52 p.m. march on the Superdome to honor Ray Lewis on Super Bowl gameday.

On Sunday night…after we win the Super Bowl, we’ll return to The Howlin’ Wolf for a victory party to remember with the Hot 8 Brass Band, another awesome New Orleans act that will provide celebration music while the libations flow and the final dance of Ray Lewis’ career has been danced.

If you have purchased a WNST V.I.P. Purple Party Pass, you already have admission for both nights (and a free bread pudding at The Howlin’ Wolf, if you decide to dine there)!

Both of these events are open to all adult Baltimore Ravens fans coming to New Orleans for the Super Bowl.

Tickets for each event are $25 (ala carte) in advance.

You can buy each night separately or you can buy the two-day pass for $40, saving you $10 and any words like “sold out.”

Age requirements: Law is no one under the age of 18 can enter The Howlin’ Wolf. If you are 18-to-21, you can enter but not drink. You must be 21 to drink at The Howlin’ Wolf. (During lunch, children are welcome at The Den inside The Howlin’ Wolf, while dining with family.)

When in N’Awlins, do what the locals do, eat what the locals eat and listen to what the locals love.

Old friends and new friends, if you’re a Baltimore Ravens fans on Super Bowl weekend, this is going to be the place to be — just like in Nashville, Charlotte, San Diego, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Providence, Boston or anywhere else the purple has played before, when it comes to throwing a party our WNST crew intends to make this little bowl game on bayou, truly SUPER!

This has been one of the truly spectacular weeks of my life planning all of these WNST.net events so that we can set our media and community bar as high as Ray Lewis and Joe Flacco as we plan events that we — as a nation of Baltimore Ravens fans — want to remember for the rest of our lives as well as we party at the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

For all “party only purchasers”: We’ll have will call locations set up in New Orleans at each of our evening events beginning Friday night at Empire (300 Decatur) from 6 til 10pm and again on Saturday from noon til 2 p.m. at Steamboat Nanchez doors (Toulouse at The River). We’ll also have will call at Saturday & Sunday Howlin’ Wolf events right at the front door if those are the only events you’ll be attend with us in The Big Easy.

You’ll have an envelope and a wristband for your purchase. If you have a multiple-day pass, you’ll have a vinyl band that’s non-transferable.
